Yesterday upon checking the date of eligibility the date changed to 9/29/11. For those tracking at home this is the last Thursday in September. Here is that screen shot. Apple stated in its earnings call that a “new product that [it] [couldn't] discuss” would lower gross margins in September, iOS 5 is due in the fall and well
